What is it?

This repository hosts official sample projects for .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI), Microsoft's framework for building Android, iOS, macOS and Windows apps from a single C# and XAML codebase. Samples are organized by .NET MAUI version, with the 10.0 folder holding the current stable set and the 11.0 folder holding preview samples.

The collection includes small focused examples such as a minimal chat client built on Microsoft.Extensions.AI and a version that adds LLM tool function calling. Larger apps such as a Point of Sale application, a responsive Weather app, a calculator using Grid span features, and several navigation scenarios show how to adapt one UI to desktop and mobile devices. A migration guide for moving from Xamarin.Forms is also included.
